Jiang Chiyu said.Bai Qi's eyes widened when he heard this.

"Do you have a way to take down the city gate?"

Jiang Chiyu nodded:
"I will sneak in in advance and find a way to open the city gate while the two armies are confronting each other. After that, the Qin army can occupy Lishi first and then Lincheng.

I found a road that was difficult to walk, difficult for ordinary soldiers to pass, and unable to carry heavy luggage, but to the surprise of everyone in Lincheng, it was possible to go directly from Lishi to the back of Lincheng.If done properly, Lincheng should be captured by then. "

Bai Qi originally planned to capture Lishi first and then attack Lin.When fighting away from home, he always had to have a barrier before he could attack a city like Lin.

Now that he heard Jiang Chiyu's words, Bai Qi became more confident in taking these two cities.So I started discussing the details with Jiang Chiyu.

This time, the audience shouted and begged Jiang Chiyu not to turn off the live broadcast. They wanted to watch the siege!Jiang Chiyu thought, it would not be a pity to have the cheating device of the live broadcast room. He also needed to sneak into the city with Black Cat and others to find a way to open the door for Bai Qi and others.

So I promise not to turn off the live broadcast for now and let everyone take a look.

After Jiang Chiyu and Bai Qi discussed the details, the man with the black cat left early again, took a detour to the back of Lishi, and climbed up the mountain.

Bai Qi did not waste any time. The army advanced to camp ten kilometers away from Lishi. After resting and reorganizing, he directly launched an offensive against Lishi.

Lishi City Wall is 18 meters high, and with the advantage of the terrain, it seems even more unattainable.The suspension bridge outside the city has been lifted, and under the bridge is a moat more than ten meters wide and seven or eight meters deep.Bai Qi asked the army to set up crossbows and started shooting at Lishi City from a distance.

The Qin army's crossbows had a long range, which was known to all the countries in the world. For a while, the soldiers who were forced down the wall near the city gate fled.However, relying on the height advantage, the counterattack arrows from Lishi City also prevented Bai Qi's team from advancing rashly.

After a few rounds of shooting like hello, the two armies faced off.

The general stationed in Lishi City took advantage of the lull in the Qin army's crossbows to go up to the city wall above the city gate and take a look. Seeing this situation, he felt satisfied.Lishi is so geographically advantageous that even famous generals like Bai Qi can't get any advantage for a while.

In the view of the Lishi guard, Bai Qi had no choice but to attack Lishi City forcefully if he wanted to take it.And for a place like Lishi, a hard attack will only cause Bai Qi to suffer serious casualties!

After coming to the conclusion that Bai Qi could not capture Lishi quickly, the general felt a little proud.But soon, he saw from a distance that the Qin army slowly changed its formation, and then dozens of chariot-like things were pushed out.

"General, it's Ren Noi!" someone beside him said.The general looked on with a solemn expression.

The so-called fénwēn is a large wooden four-wheeled vehicle, shaped like a log cabin, but covered with rawhide to prevent fire. It can accommodate ten people inside and can be used to transport soil and fill trenches. , even if you shoot arrows or throw rolling rocks from the city, you can't hurt the people inside.

The anemone in Bai Qi's army is stronger, and its surface is reinforced with metal plates!Harder to damage!

This thing is the most annoying thing. It can't hurt the people inside, so it can keep moving soil to fill the moat.If it is allowed to fill part of the moat with soil, then the siege equipment can reach under the city gate!
But on the city wall, they can't do anything about it!
The general had no other choice at this time. If the land outside Lishi was not as clean as it was, they might try setting a fire on the other side of the moat to impede An Nulu's progress.

But there was obviously nothing we could do at this point.

Bai Qi's soldiers were waiting quietly outside the shooting range of the Shicheng defenders.Some people were cutting trees and digging soil nearby, and vehicles were coming and going, vowing to fill up the moat!
General Lishi was watching the situation below the city wall when he suddenly heard a roar.

I saw several black lights shooting from the Qin army formation, directly over the city wall, and shot into the waiting Zhao Bing army formation below the city.The general was stunned for a moment and quickly turned around to look back on the other side of the city wall.

I saw arrows as thick and long as spears, nailed directly into the Zhao army's formation!It actually passed through the bodies of several soldiers at the same time, ending the lives of several people!

It is true that not many people died, but the range of this thing is too terrifying!

"How did the Qin army do it! Bai Qi's army is more than three hundred feet away from here! What is this thing that can shoot so far!"

Three hundred feet is 1000 meters.Seeing this terrifying range, the general and his men were all numb.

They didn't know it and weren't surprised because it was a giant ballista of the Mo family, also called a bed crossbow.huge
The crossbow cart can load seven or eight crossbow arrows at a time. After they are arranged, they can fire continuously by relying on the machine spring. The shooting distance can be more than a thousand meters, but the accuracy is average and the shooting speed is slow.

However, the arrows of this bed crossbow are huge and can shoot through several people at one time, which is very scary.

It's a pity that the giant ballistae is also a bit bulky and cannot carry too many with the army.

At this time, Bai Qi lined up his giant ballistae and fired non-stop, giving Zhao Jun a certain amount of harassment.

Although Zhao Jun could not kill many people at one time, he was full of fear.The giant ballista can shoot far and accurately, which means no one knows which people will be pierced by the next arrow!
This is Zhao Jun, who has relatively high military literacy.If it had been anything else, the soldiers might have thought of escaping at this moment.

"General, you can't stay here for long. General, please go down to the city wall."

General Lishi's men were afraid that his general would be shot by a crossbow arrow, so they suggested that he go to the city to take shelter.

But at this time, Bai Qi's harassment had already made the soldiers panic. If he, as the general, hid, the soldiers would also have an evasive mentality.So as a general, he couldn't leave.

So the general had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to stay on the city wall, observing the enemy's situation and taking command.

The people kept coming and going, and finally a moat of more than 20 meters long was filled in under the city wall!This also means that Bai Qi will soon send people to attack the city gate.

Sure enough, Bai Qi's military formation changed again, and a siege vehicle slowly drove out.

Today's siege vehicles are generally made of wood, and Bai Qi's siege vehicle is even more solid.The roof has a hard metal carport cover, and the six wheels underneath, including the body wheels, are reinforced with metal plates. The outside is also covered with cowhide and sheepskin to prevent fire and arrow damage.

Inside the siege vehicle, a thick log is hung on the beam with a metal chain. The log has a metal head at the front end and a metal cap at the back end. This is the battering ram, which is specially used to chisel the city gates.

As soon as the siege engines came out, the ladders followed.

The general took one look and knew that the real moment of battle was coming, so he quickly ordered the whole army to be on alert, and all weapons on the city wall were ready.As soon as Bai Qi's army approached, he began to attack.
